Who We Are
Next to the air we breathe, water is the most important thing in our lives.
The City of Kingsville Water Productions is responsible for delivering water to
more than 25,000 residents. This department recognizes and accepts the
responsibility associated with preserving and protecting our water source. In
addition, the city supplies potable water to a military installation and to an
institution for higher education. Water is produced by five active wells drilled
deep into Goliad Sands Aquifer which is than blended with surface water in the
city�s distribution system. Prior to January, 2005, all water was treated with
chlorine gas before being pumped into the distribution system. To reduce the
formation of disinfection byproducts, the City of Kingsville switched to
chloramines for water disinfection. Chloramines are a combination of chlorine
and liquid ammonium sulfate.
The City of Kingsville tax payers spend approximately 17,000 dollars annually to
monitor the quality of their drinking water. Water samples are collected daily,
quarterly, annually and tri-annually. Water analysis that are required by the
Environmental Protection Agency include bacteriological, metals, mineral,
arsenic, fluoride, volatile organic compounds, synthetic organic compounds,
nitrate/nitrites, lead, copper and radio-chemical. All water chemical analysis
results are kept on file for a period of ten years.
Mission Statement
The Water Production Department is committed to the protection of public
health and to quality management of our potable water.
